Open toolWhen you need to split a PDF
Splitting a PDF is essential when you only need a few pages from a long document, want to separate chapters, or need to send one section without exposing the rest. Instead of printing the pages you want and re-scanning them, a clean split keeps text selectable and quality untouched.
How to split a PDF step by step
1. Open the Split PDF tool and drop in your file.
2. Enter the page ranges you want (for example 1-3, 5, 8-10).
3. Run the tool — each range becomes its own PDF.
4. Download your files. Everything happens in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.
Private and instant
Because Split PDF runs entirely on your device, there is no upload, no waiting on a server, and no privacy risk — ideal for contracts, statements, and anything confidential.
